President Trump has deliberately hired the swamp he promised to drain. The views for which we elected him including normalizing relations with Russia can’t be properly implemented if everyone around him thinks he’s crazy. For the media: We wouldn’t have voted for Trump if we’d wanted a regular Republican-Townhall, Elliot Resnick

How many applauded when he announced his Muslim ban? How many enjoyed watching his rallies? How many reflexively took Trump’s side – not the media’s – during all the contrived scandals of the 2016 campaign?

Comment: Of course almost 100% of people in the Beltway are also in the Swamp. But it would still in most cases be better to leave jobs empty or fill them with anyone out of the phone book than hire Swamp persons. The concept of “regime change” seems to work only if the US bombs a place. Trump defeated the GOP Establishment Swamp in 2016 but that didn’t mean we got “regime change.” It turns out that in the US, elections don’t matter. All the money in the world is still behind the Swamp of “both” parties. Trump won because he offered Republican voters what they’ve wanted for many years but which the Republican Party refused to provide. The GOP has the same agenda as Democrats: open borders, endless wars, and America Last. All the donor money in the world is behind “America Last.” Trump’s candidacy also attracted many independent and democrat voters which effectively created an “unnamed” new political party. To this day, Trump voters still have no political party behind them-they only have Trump. Neither the GOP nor Democrat Party wants anything to do with them. Trump had two choices when he won. He could announce a new political party or attempt to operate through the established Republican Party. It would be a big job to start a political party to replace the GOP-which at present refuses to be an opposition party to the Democrats. If Trump were age 50 instead of age 70+ it might be a consideration. There’s also the factor that his two “special interests,” Ivanka and Jared, are deeply committed globalist democrats, ie, the exact opposite of Trump voters.
